While reading about Goblins I stumbled upon the term "Bugbear", which I've never heard before. Turns out it is a diverse creature class, different from Hobgoblins and Goblins. I couldn't find a proper definition of that being, but it seems that it resembles Hobgoblins a bit, and perhaps are stronger and even bigger than them. If you have any information about them, please share! A Bugbear supposedly appears on Tolkien's "The Hobbit": Beorn! Remember that dude that transforms into a bear and gives shelter to Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin's Company? There you have it! Though I neeeeeeever thought he would look like the picture above. At least in my imagination, he was a little more humane-like. The word "Bugbear" is also used in our modern world as a metaphor for something that is annoying or irritating.
